In particular, it ranked 18th in the nation for the professor research sector. This was ranked seven places higher than the previous year. In the detailed index that assesses research capacities, it placed 9th for the number of citations in international theses showing that it had especially high levels of quality for the theses. This is the result of the university-wide effort to improve the research level. As part of this, in 2013, YU became the only university in Korea to introduce the ‘Research Materials Support Project’ that funds a total of four billion won in four years by selecting 25 professors in the top 30% for research capacities. In order to improve the quality of research, it has been implementing an innovative research support program that assesses professor achievements using qualitative indices such as number of citations of theses and technological fee income rather than the quantitative index of the number of theses and number of patents. On this, the Industry-Academic Research Office Director Park Jin-ho said, “We believe that there must be active research for development of education and industry-academic cooperation, so we are preemptively reacting to environmental changes and providing full support.”
